uninstall vista

Hello I was wondering how I would go about uninstalling vista beta. I have it
on a seperate partition from xp and I am running in dual boot. Last time i
uninstalled the previous beta (by formatting the partition it was on) it
still gave me the option to boot vista, and evenutally I had to reinstall xp
because it was causing problems. Are there any files vista puts on your xp
partition? Or was what happened to me last time some sort of anomaly?

Any help on the best way to go about uninstalling vista would be awesome.

Get Vista Boot Pro.
Use the option in it to remove the Vista boot loader and return to XP

Following that you should boot directly into XP with no boot menu.

Then just format the Vista partition.
